Study the Fa Well and Devote Ourselves to Our Roles as Fa-Rectification Dafa Disciples
(Clearwisdom.net) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 1. Study the Fa Well and Devote Ourselves to
Our Roles as Fa-Rectification Dafa Disciples By a Falun Gong practitioner in Daqing, China Immediately after reading Teacher's new article, "Let Go of Human Attachments
and Save the World's People," feelings of anxiety and haste got the better of me
again. Once again I became eager for success and instant results in my
truth-clarification work. Consequently, my speech and actions became less
rational. After "Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People" was
published, I also observed irrational speech and actions on a number of
different levels in many fellow practitioners. Those who have been hesitant to
step forward and clarify the truth to the Chinese people for a long time were
feeling especially anxious and panicky. I witnessed the same type of irrational
responses in fellow practitioners in China after Teacher published the article
titled "Towards Consummation." Back then, a large number of practitioners in
many areas of China paid a steep price for stepping forward and clarifying the
truth about Falun Gong for the wrong reasons --- anxiety, haste and panic. We
should learn from our painful lessons in the past, and stop making the same
mistakes. Although the number of demons in other dimensions has been
significantly reduced, they are still highly active and searching for our
loopholes. If we cannot study the Fa attentively, try to understand Teacher's
new articles rationally, and steadily do the Three Things (studying Teacher's
books and articles, sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth
about Falun Gong to the world's people), the remaining evil in other dimensions
is likely to exploit our loopholes. After I studied the Fa peacefully and looked within for attachments, I
discovered many of them. My fear for my personal safety, my concerns for my lack
of eloquence, my fear of rejection and my attachment to fame caused me to forego
a lot of opportunities to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to fellow Chinese.
When I studied "Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People," I
thought of it as Teacher's hints to let go of all of the attachments that I had
not been able to part with for a long time, such as attachments to comfort,
fear, worry and fame. I decided that I should not allow these human attachments
to cost me precious opportunities to clarify the truth to my colleagues at work,
my family and relatives, and all other fellow Chinese that I meet daily, or cost
the world's people their precious opportunities to obtain Teacher's salvation. There is limited time left before the Fa-rectification arrives in the human
realm. Hence, there are limited opportunities left for the world's people to
understand and accept the truth about Falun Gong. If we miss one opportunity to
clarify the truth to the world's people, the world's people will have one less
opportunity for Teacher's salvation. If we are still reluctant to let go of our
long-standing human attachments and "start to seize the day and comprehensively
save the world's people," the world's people will lose their opportunity for
salvation and be weeded out on account of our long-standing attachments. With an
eye to "seize the day and comprehensively save the world's people," we must calm
down and study the Fa peacefully. We must let go of our human attachments and we
must not let them down. This is my personal understanding on this subject, which I would like to
share with all of my fellow practitioners. Please kindly point out anything I
might have misunderstood. 2. Inspirations from Studying "Let
Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People" By a Falun Gong practitioner in Beijing After repeatedly reading Teacher's new article, "Let Go of Human Attachments
and Save the World's People," I felt Teacher's incomparable compassion deeply.
Teacher told us specifically to let go of our long-standing human attachments
and "start to seize the day and comprehensively save the world's people." There is limited time left for us to offer Teacher's salvation to the world's
people. What do we do? Teacher said, "At the crucial moment when I ask you to break away from
humanness, you do not follow me. Each opportunity will not occur again."
(From "Digging Out the Roots" in Essentials for Further Advancement)
I think it's high time we break away from our humanness to completely let go
of our attachments. It is high time that we start thinking of offering the
world's people Teacher's salvation from the perspective of gods, or from the
perspective of the Fa-rectification, instead of from the perspective of everyday
people. How do we clarify the truth about Falun Gong? How do we offer Teacher's
salvation to the world's people? We must do it with a rational and clear mind.
We must not clarify the truth out of panic or anxiety. As a Falun Gong
practitioner in the Fa-rectification period, we ought to have righteous thoughts
at all times. We must have the compassion to offer the world's people Teacher's
salvation and offer it rationally and wisely. More importantly, we must seize
each day and comprehensively clarify the truth to the world's people. When the
first large-scale process of weeding out sentient beings begins, it may be too
late to clarify the truth to some of the world's people. This is my personal understanding on the subject. Please kindly point out
anything erroneous.
